Looking for input

This is one of the first images that I took with the composer that I really like. But since I just got it a month ago I am still learing a lot about it so I am looking for some feedback from other users.

Seems like you have the techincal aspects of tilt and focus down. This image looks like it might be backfocused slightly, it does not detract from the image. You can tell a Lensbaby image that is backfocused by a ring or partial ring of sharp focus (that I see on the right of this image) rather than a spot of focus.

Composition on this image is nice. I would like to see the human figure that is at the top either not in the image or in a more prominent location in the image. Seeing just a portion of him/her ends up being a bit distracting.

Thanks for sharing.

Looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks everyone.
And in response to Craig, I took another picture a few second prior to this one but it didnt turn out. But in that one the person was actually in the middle of the stairs. Also how can I tell if its backfocused when I am taking the picture? Even after you mention it Im haveing a little bit of a hard time seeing what your talking about. Maybe Ill just have to meet up with AJ and have him teach me a little :P

It is tough to see backfocusing through the viewfinder. The best thing to do is practice focusing with zero tilt and always be looking for the center of your image to be the sharpest. Then, when you do tilt, getting the middle of the sweet spot the sharpest possible will be easier because you got used to doing so when you knew for sure where the middle of the sweet spot was when the Composer was not tilted.

Wish I could hang out with AJ over a Lensbaby. Maybe someday.
